  • The Most Unusual Tree

    Located in Saw Mill Park in Richland Village a mighty white oak tree stood for 235 years (approx. 1780-2015) next to a Saw Mill that led the way for the once mighty railroads to criss-cross here in Richland, Buena Vista Township.

    Mayor Chuck Chiarello and the Township Committee honored the 150th Anniversary of Buena Vista Township by depicting the Township’s history in the contemporary piece of art. The Tree Monument depicts almost 40 different carvings that show the past and modern history of what we call home, Buena Vista Township. With the help of local tree surgeon Gary Heitz and a talented chainsaw artist by the name of Brian Ackley the Tree Monument was born.
